Books

Stoeke " . . . has mastered the art of expressing the mind of a child – or in this case the minds of three childish hens.﻿" Pip, Midge, and Dot are feartured in four adventures that will make new readers eager to read every one of them!

~ Book List

Personality, emotion, humor, story -- all fairly leap from the flat acrylic double-page spreads. The hens' unconditional big love for Rooster Sam is both funny and sweet, and the "nobody's perfect" message is delivered with a light hand. Still, readers will giggle (along with Midge, Pip, and Dot) when at book's end, the adulated Sam, strutting for the ladies, trips over a stick. -- Horn Book﻿

Janet Morgan Stoeke's work as an author and illustrator began with a dream. She woke up remembering a chicken sitting on her windowsill. A month later, when she became aware of a children's book contest, she knew that the image from her dream was the kernel of an idea she wanted to use for a story. Minerva Louise, her blithe, funny hen was born in the wee hours as she juggled graduate school and full time work as an ad designer. Just barely making the deadline for the contest, her submission beat out all the others and won her a publishing contract.﻿
